### Conditional statements with 'cond'
```(doc cond "this is the documentation for cond")```
The ```cond``` statement executes a block of code if a specified condition is true. If the condition is false, another block of code can be executed.
```(doc cond "this is the documentation for cond")```
Examples are given below:
```clojure
(defndynamic cond-internal [xs]
(if (= (length xs) 0)
(list)
(if (= (length xs) 2)
(macro-error "cond has even number of branches; add an else branch")
(if (= (length xs) 1)
(car xs)
(list
'if
(car xs)
(cadr xs)
(cond-internal (cddr xs)))))))
(defmacro cond [:rest xs]
(cond-internal xs))
```
